If I was in that game, I'd be very pleased to have that information. Such
details should NOT be given out publicly as it gives other players a "free
grab" at the position's pop centres and characters for at least one turn.
For instance, since there are now no special service turns, you can
challenge without any RfsPers getting in the way.

Hi - just to reiterate we do get in touch with the team (or they us) FIRST
before going to the standby list or other methods.

they did and we were happy to hear it
but then CL had not been very active, so we could have guessed anyway
when they ask for a CL replacement for an unknown game

I can hear that hollow threat echoing all the way to Mithlond.
The good people of Olbamarl may well see the light and join the winning
side, hope your economy survives.
I note that Olbamarl is not the only thing LR has lost - Where would you
